Jade Carey Maintains Perfect Streak as Oregon Beavers Star Propels Team to Another Dominant Result

They say lightning never strikes twice, but Jade Carey didn’t get the memo! Jordan wearing her orange and black with pride has lit up the NCAA Gymnastics like only she can. Oregon star has notched multiple perfect 10s. Case in point?  On March 21, she stepped into Gill Coliseum like a gymnast on a mission. Oregon State’s final home meet before regionals? Yeah, it felt more like Jade’s personal highlight reel! And then, just when the crowd thought she couldn’t top herself, she nailed a perfect 10 on the floor. Her second in a row. The arena exploded! Carey had just hit a 39.850 all-around score, picking up five event titles along the way like it was just another Friday. As the music faded and the lights dimmed, one question lingered in every corner of the gym, could she carry this magic into regionals? No one knew. Well, we have the answers now.

Well, JADE CAREY DID JADE CAREY THINGS!—and then some. Stepping into the NCAA regional semifinals, the U.S. Olympian once again lit up the floor with a perfect 10, her third in a row on that event. Every tumble, every turn, every landing was pure electricity. And it didn’t stop there. Carey tied or won outright in all five categories—vault, bars, beam, floor, and all-around, capping the night with a jaw-dropping 39.850 total. Yep, undefeated in all-arounds this season. Still sounds unreal, right?

But this wasn’t a one-woman show. The Beavers showed up big time in Tuscaloosa. Their floor rotation? Explosive. A team score of 49.525, led by Carey but bolstered by strong routines from Sage Thompson (9.900), Kaitlin Garcia (9.900), and Sophia Esposito (9.875).

Then came the beam, the event that sealed their spot in the regional final. Carey’s 9.950 led the charge, while Gonzales, McMillan, Heather, and Esposito all posted strong scores. Oregon State’s final tally? 197.050, just behind Powerhouse Florida but comfortably ahead of NC State and Clemson. That second-place finish means one thing: they’re not done yet.

Well, we talked about Jade Carey’s perfect 10 in the regional semis, but that was just the latest. Let’s take a quick look back at every time she’s nailed gymnastics perfection this season!

A Look at Jade Carey’s perfect 10s this season

What’s harder than earning a perfect 10? Earning four of them, in a season where judges have barely given any out! But that’s exactly what Jade Carey has pulled off! It all began on March 15, when Oregon State took on Stanford at home in Corvallis, and what a night it was! Gill Coliseum. Over 9,000 fans packed the stands, the largest crowd in program history. And Jade Carey? She gave them a night they’ll never forget!  That’s where the perfect 10s began.

Carey was on a mission. After a season where 10 had been harder to come, she broke through in style. Her beam routine was nothing short of flawless, with poise, balance, and execution, all on point. The judges couldn’t ignore it. Boom- 10. Then came the floor. As the anchor in the lineup, she had the crowd on their feet before she even finished. And when she nailed that final tumbling pass? Pandemonium. Another perfect 10. Talk about adding more value to them? She added a 9.950 on vault and a 9.975 on bars to wrap up the meet with a career-best 39.925 in the all-around. It was a complete sweep, Carey won every event title that night. But more than that, she sparked the Beavers to a season-high 197.700.

Fast forward to March 21, and she did it again! Another perfect 10 on the floor in her final home meet of the regular season. That made it two straight weeks with a flawless score. And she didn’t just win the floor title, she swept all five events she competed in. Then she rounded off her perfect 10 with another perfect 10, and this time at regionals!
